Psalm Ps. 57. This is another individual lament, based on an event in David’s life (probably 1 Sam. 22:1, but possibly 1 Sam. 24:3). Psalm 57 arose from Saul’s persecution of David. The psalm has two sections, each ended by the refrain (vv. 5, 11), and each mentioning God’s “steadfast love and faithfulness” (vv. 3, 10, drawing on Ex. 34:6). The faithful who sing this hymn can identify with David’s confidence amid serious dangers. They can look beyond those dangers and seek God’s honor.
Ps. 57:1–5 In the midst of dire circumstances the faithful person can cry out to God in the confidence that God hears and that he fulfills his purpose for his children.
Ps. 57:3 save. See note on 3:2. His steadfast love and his faithfulness (compare 57:10) recalls Ex. 34:6.
Ps. 57:6–11 The singer urges himself to praise God and to look forward to bringing testimony of God’s goodness to the whole world (peoples and nations, v. 9; see Gen. 12:1–3; Ex. 19:5–6).
Ps. 57:8 My glory refers to a person’s best qualities.
